At once recognizable from C. Johnstoni, Pocock (Ann. &, 

 Mag. Nat. Hist. (6) xx. p. 253, figs. 1, la), from Nyasaland, 

 and from C. ornatum, Karsch (= C. variatum, Pocock^ Proc. 

 Zool. Soc. 1898, p. 523, pi. xlii. fig. 16, c?), from Masailand, 

 by the shortness of the flagellum, the nearly uniform pale 

 colouring, greater length of appendages, &c.* 



* In Jalirb. Hamb. Wiss. Anst. xvi. p. 247 (1899), Kraepeliii cites 

 aaiono'st the recognized species of Ceroma two forms named Ceroma 

 Sclaleri and Ceroma capense, both purportino- to be described by 

 Dr. Purcell, of the Soutli African Museum, Cape Town. I cannot 

 discover that the descriptions of these species have yet been publislied. 

 It is a tliousand pities tliat nomina nada sliould make their appearance 

 in literature in this way.
